It's time to pre-order tickets!!! Ticket pre-order forms are due by Friday, May 22nd and tickets will be available for pick up and payment starting Monday, June 1st. If you have questions about tickets, please contact our ticket coordinator Gail Knight scott.gail.knight@gmail.com

These documents list the Recital and Ballet Show line up. You may notice that for "Music by Legends, Divas and Superstars" the line up is slightly different than the rehearsal schedule. (The rehearsal schedule is formatted to accommodate our younger dancers.)

The main reason for including the show's line up is for those dancers that take multiple classes and will have costume changes during the shows. It would be extremely helpful for parents to print off the line up and take a couple minutes to go through it with your dancer. Helping them to know the order of their dances and how they will need to be prepared to change their costumes, tights and accessories. We will be educating those dancers that have quick changes by giving them helpful hints on layering tights, organizing their dance bag, etc., It would be very beneficial to have them know their costume order and approx. time they will have to change. (Each routine is about 2 minutes long) We will have "intimate" changing areas in each dressing room to help provide privacy to our changing dancers. Please make sure all costumes, accessories and shoes have the dancers name in them. Quick changes are a way of the dance world and like our older dancers say, "it adds some excitement to the backstage area!"

The picture schedule wasemailed out a few weeks ago. The schedule is currently posted at the studio and you can also print off a copy off our website www.elitedancestudio.org and click on the Recital Page!

**Teachers will be handing out order forms this week.Please make sure dancers have their costumes, tights, shoes and accessories all ready to go. Remember...we sell tights at the front desk!

During Picture Day, families will be able to visit the Room Mom table and sign up to volunteer backstage during the shows.

You will also be able to turn in your ticket pre-order form. We will also have a full front desk staff available to answer your questions as well as accept summer tuition.

~We will have all the LOST & FOUND items out during picture day. Please take a moment to look through it...there are so many things waiting to be found! After picture day we will bundle up what is left and donate it to Goodwill.

I know this is a lot of information and I appreciate you taking the time to read through this LONG email! I will be adding all the recital information to our website this week. Please do not hesitate to email or call if you have any questions. The Staff is getting very excited as all the routines are coming together and can't wait to see all the dancers shine on stage!
